Perhaps this should be decreed in a new Geneva convention as the only allowed long range missile system? That would make wars less deadly and more useful.

 

France has unveiled plans to develop a new uncrewed combat air vehicle (UCAV) that will complement the forthcoming Rafale F5 crewed fighter, as part of a new-look French Air and Space Force. The industrial side of the drone program will be headed up by Dassault Aviation, drawing upon its previous nEUROn UCAV demonstrator, which has already been used in trials with crewed combat aircraft.

Track The Tropics has been the #1 source to track the tropics 24/7 since 2013! The main goal of the site is to bring all of the important links and graphics to ONE PLACE so you can keep up to date on any threats to land during the Atlantic Hurricane Season! Hurricane Season 2024 in the Atlantic starts on June 1st and ends on November 30th. Love Spaghetti Models? Well you've come to the right place!! Remember when you're preparing for a storm: Run from the water; hide from the wind!

An interesting aggregation of lots of great sites, their graphics, and the information from around the web and world.

Currently, Tesla is the leading company in the first release of the Battery StorageTech Bankability Ratings report, and is the only supplier to feature in the top AAA-Rating band.

While Tesla relies upon some third-party battery cell supply, the quarterly deployment levels of ESS solutions are currently trending at record highs (almost 10 GWh). Furthermore, Tesla’s Financial Scores are at the upper end of all the companies analyzed in the first report, although ESS operations still represent a minor part of the total group turnover.

Over the next 12 months, it is expected that significant changes will unfold in the Bankability Pyramid; in particular, arising from the number of new Chinese companies that have entered the sector in the past couple of years. However, it is unclear how the fortunes of these producers will evolve since many of them are largely ‘China-centric’ in their positioning and lack any manufacturing capacity outside mainland China.

Ultimately, the sector could become segmented in geographic supply coverage, driven by US/China trade policy or the realignment of EV/ESS upstream manufacturing to satisfy the geographic location-of-manufacturing demands from the EV industry globally.

Say more please? What's the advantage?

People are doing work to figure out how bad the famine will be..

 

...some predictions estimate that there may be hundreds of thousands or even millions of deaths from famine in Sudan in the coming year or two.

...

In my research so far into models predicting famine numbers, however, I have been surprised at the extent to which the models are not transparent. That is, when two models disagree, with one claiming very high death estimates and others predicting more limited famine (there is clearly a famine already underway in some parts of Sudan), it’s unclear what drives these differences. If the data and code were publicly available, we could compare the models, see where they differ, and then identify which of these differences are in turn responsible for the different predictions they make. So that’s what I’ve set out to do, with hopes that I will find some fellow travellers along the way.

Getting twitter.com redirecting to cardsagainsthumanity.com would certainly be worth 15 million. Ha!

Maybe he'll get fined enough by the FAA for SpaceX violations and SEC for missing court appointed meetings he'll decide to just give up twitter and go back to digging holes underground. Unlikely I know but good for a laugh.

Indeed, Russia still has some currency reserves, the shadow gas fleet, huge increase in domestic production of arms, and has some how kept it's GDP growth up. Not that it doesn't have issues on it's horizon, but time is still there to wiggle around them. Also you are correct about Ukraine, many reasons to be enthusiastic, but Winter still looks like it might be rough.

And Trump, well yea still many days to the election and he may yet pull Vance's thumb out of his ass. Can't say I don't like the nice poll numbers from swing states though, seems like Harris has some good appeal to the swing voters.

Looks like it had some anti-drone mods which clearly didn't entirely work. Curious if that become a total wreck or recoverable wreck.

What they should and what they will being entirely separate of course, but I agree they should take it away irrespective of if he keeps his diplomatic and etc. It would be a good sign of not being above the law, like he's trying to be.
